Back pain can come on suddenly, develop over time, or keep flaring up when you least need it.
It might make bending, lifting, sitting, sleeping, walking, or exercising more difficult than it should be.
It can show up as:
Because back pain can show up differently from person to person, treatment shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all.
We start by working out what may be contributing to your symptoms and what approach is most likely to help.
Physio for back pain is about more than short-term pain relief.
Our aim is to help you understand what is going on, settle symptoms, build confidence to move again, and help you get back to work, exercise, sport or daily life.
Depending on your situation, your treatment may include:
Some people come in with back pain that started this week. Others have been dealing with it on and off for months or years.
We help with both.
When back pain keeps returning or has been hanging around for a while, it often needs more than rest or avoiding certain movements.
A more individual plan may be needed: one that looks at what’s happening with your movement, activity, confidence, daily demands, and the pattern of your symptoms over time.
That’s where careful assessment and a sensible plan can be especially important.
Your first appointment is designed to give you a clear understanding of what is going on and what to do next.
We start by understanding your symptoms, history, goals, and what your back is doing. This may include movement testing, aggravating and easing factors, and any relevant screening.
You should leave with an explanation that makes sense, not more confusion.
That plan may include treatment, exercise, advice, and what to do between sessions — with the goal of helping you get back to work, sport, exercise, or everyday life more comfortably.
Clear advice, thoughtful care, and a plan that fits the person.
We explain things in plain English and give you a plan you can actually follow.
We use current physiotherapy principles and tailor treatment to what seems most relevant and useful.
We take assessment seriously, keep learning, and work together when needed to support your care.
Treatment is tailored to your symptoms, goals, and stage of recovery.
Based in Fulham, we regularly help people from nearby western suburbs access care close to home.

It may be worth booking an appointment if:
• it is not settling as expected
• it keeps coming back
• you are avoiding movement because you are worried about making it worse
• it’s affecting work, sleep, walking, exercise or everyday life
• you want a clearer explanation of what is going on

We regularly help people from Fulham, Henley Beach, Grange, Lockleys, Findon, West Beach, Kidman Park, and nearby western suburbs with acute and persistent back pain.
If you are looking for local physio for back pain, we offer clear assessment, practical advice, and a plan that fits your situation.
Not usually. In many cases, a good assessment is the best place to start. If anything suggests you need further medical investigation, we can help guide that process.
Yes — especially when treatment goes beyond quick pain relief and includes education, movement, strength, pacing, and a plan that fits your situation.
Usually not completely. Relative activity modification can help, but staying completely inactive often is not the best long-term strategy.
Yes, assessment can help determine whether symptoms are coming from the low back, whether there is nerve-related pain, and what treatment approach is most appropriate.
That depends on how long the pain has been there, how irritable it is, what is driving it, and what your goals are.
We will give you our best estimate after the initial assessment.
If back pain is stopping you from moving well, working comfortably, or getting back to the things you enjoy, we can help.
